< 1 Samuel 1 >

1 Houve um homem de Ramathaim de Zophim, da montanha de Ephraim, cujo nome era Elcana, filho de Jeroham, filho de Elihu, filho de Tohu, filho de Suph, ephrateo.
There was a man of Armathaim Sipha, of mount Ephraim, and his name [was] Helkana, a son of Jeremeel the son of Elias the son of Thoke, in Nasib Ephraim.
2 E este tinha duas mulheres: o nome d'uma era Anna, e o nome da outra Peninna: e Peninna tinha filhos, porém Anna não tinha filhos.
And he [had] two wives; the name of the one [was] Anna, and the name of the second Phennana. And Phennana had children, but Anna had no child.
3 Subia pois este homem da sua cidade de anno em anno a adorar e a sacrificar ao Senhor dos Exercitos em Silo: e estavam ali os sacerdotes do Senhor, Hophni e Phineas, os dois filhos d'Eli.
And the man went up from year to year from his city, from Armathaim, to worship and sacrifice to the Lord God of Sabaoth at Selom: and [there were] Heli and his two sons Ophni and Phinees, the priests of the Lord.
4 E succedeu que no dia em que Elcana sacrificava dava elle porções a Peninna, sua mulher, e a todos os seus filhos, e a todas as suas filhas.
And the day came, and Helkana sacrificed, and gave portions to his wife Phennana and her children.
5 Porém a Anna dava uma parte excellente; porquanto a Anna amava, porém o Senhor lhe tinha cerrado a madre.
And to Anna he gave a prime portion, because she had no child, only Helkana loved Anna more than the other; but the Lord [had] closed her womb.
6 E a sua competidora excessivamente a irritava, para a embravecer: porquanto o Senhor lhe tinha cerrado a madre.
For the Lord gave her no child in her affliction, and according to the despondency of her affliction; and she was dispirited on this account, that the Lord shut up her womb so as not to give her a child.
7 E assim o fazia elle de anno em anno: desde que subia á casa do Senhor, assim a outra a irritava: pelo que chorava, e não comia.
So she did year by year, in going up to the house of the Lord; and she was dispirited, and wept, and did not eat.
8 Então Elcana, seu marido, lhe disse: Anna, porque choras? e porque não comes? e porque está mal o teu coração? não te sou eu melhor do que dez filhos?
And Helkana her husband said to her, Anna: and she said to him, Here [am] I, my lord: and he said to her, What ails you that you weep? and why do you not eat? and why does your heart strike you? [am] I not better to you than ten children?
9 Então Anna se levantou, depois que comeram e beberam em Silo: e Eli, sacerdote, estava assentado n'uma cadeira, junto a um pilar do templo do Senhor.
And Anna rose up after they had eaten in Selom, and stood before the Lord: and Heli the priest [was] on a seat by the threshold of the temple of the Lord.
10 Ella pois, com amargura de alma, orou ao Senhor, e chorou abundantemente.
And she [was] very much grieved in spirit, and prayed to the Lord, and wept abundantly.
11 E votou um voto, dizendo: Senhor dos Exercitos! se benignamente attenderes para a afflicção da tua serva, e de mim te lembrares, e da tua serva te não esqueceres, mas á tua serva deres um filho varão, ao Senhor o darei por todos os dias da sua vida, e sobre a sua cabeça não subirá navalha
And she vowed a vow to the Lord, saying, O Lord God of Sabaoth, if you welt indeed look upon the humiliation of your handmaid, and remember me, and give to your handmaid a boy, then will I indeed dedicate him to you till the day of his death; and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink, and no razor shall come upon his head.
12 E succedeu que, perseverando ella em orar perante o Senhor, Eli fez attenção á sua bocca.
And it came to pass, while she was long praying before the Lord, that Heli the priest marked her mouth.
13 Porquanto Anna no seu coração fallava, só se moviam os seus beiços, porém não se ouvia a sua voz: pelo que Eli a teve por embriagada.
And she was speaking in her heart, and her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: and Heli accounted her a drunken woman.
14 E disse-lhe Eli: Até quando estarás tu embriagada? aparta de ti o teu vinho.
And the servant of Heli said to her, How long will you be drunken? take away your wine from you, and go out from the presence of the Lord.
15 Porém Anna respondeu, e disse: Não, senhor meu, eu sou uma mulher attribulada de espirito; nem vinho nem bebida forte tenho bebido: porém tenho derramado a minha alma perante o Senhor.
And Anna answered and said, Nay, my lord, [I live] in a hard day, and I have not drunk wine or strong drink, and I pour out my soul before the Lord.
16 Não tenhas pois a tua serva por filha de Belial: porque da multidão dos meus cuidados e do meu desgosto tenho fallado até agora.
Count not your handmaid for a pestilent woman, for by reason of the abundance of my importunity I have continued [my prayer] until now.
17 Então respondeu Eli, e disse: Vae em paz: e o Deus de Israel te conceda a tua petição que lhe pediste.
And Heli answered and said to her, Go in peace: the God of Israel give you all your petition, which you have asked of him.
18 E disse ella: Ache a tua serva graça em teus olhos. Assim a mulher se foi seu caminho, e comeu, e o seu semblante já não era triste.
And she said, Your handmaid has found favour in your eyes: and the woman went her way, and entered into her lodging, and ate and drank with her husband, and her countenance was no more sad.
19 E levantaram-se de madrugada, e adoraram perante o Senhor, e tornaram-se, e vieram á sua casa, a Rama, e Elcana conheceu a Anna, sua mulher, e o Senhor se lembrou d'ella.
And they rise early in the morning, and worship the Lord, and they go their way: and Helkana went into his house at Armathaim, and knew his wife Anna; and the Lord remembered her, and she conceived.
20 E succedeu que, passado algum tempo, Anna concebeu, e pariu um filho, e chamou o seu nome Samuel; porque, dizia ella, o tenho pedido ao Senhor.
And it came to pass when the time was come, that she brought forth a son, and called his name Samuel, and said, Because I asked him of the Lord God of Sabaoth.
21 E subiu aquelle homem Elcana com toda a sua casa, a sacrificar ao Senhor o sacrificio annual e a cumprir o seu voto.
And the man Helkana and all his house went up to offer in Selom the yearly sacrifice, and his vows, and all the tithes of his land.
22 Porém Anna não subiu; mas disse a seu marido: Quando o menino fôr desmamado, então o levarei, para que appareça perante o Senhor, e lá fique para sempre.
But Anna did not go up with him, for she said to her husband, [I will not go up] until the child goes up, when I have weaned him, and he shall be presented before the Lord, and he shall abide there continually.
23 E Elcana, seu marido, lhe disse: Faze o que bem te parecer em teus olhos, fica até que o desmames; tão sómente confirme o Senhor a sua palavra: assim ficou a mulher, e deu leite a seu filho, até que o desmamou.
And Helkana her husband said to her, Do that which is good in your eyes, abide still until you shall have weaned him; but may the Lord establish that which comes out of your mouth: and the woman tarried, and suckled her son until she had weaned him.
24 E, havendo-o desmamado, o levou comsigo, com tres bezerros, e um epha de farinha, e um odre de vinho, e o trouxe á casa do Senhor, a Silo, e era o menino ainda muito creança.
And she went up with him to Selom with a calf of three years old, and loaves, and an ephah of fine flour, and a bottle of wine: and she entered into the house of the Lord in Selom, and the child with them.
25 E degolaram um bezerro: e assim trouxeram o menino a Eli.
And they brought him before the Lord; and his father killed his offering which he offered from year to year to the Lord; and he brought near the child, and killed the calf; and Anna the mother of the child brought him to Heli.
26 E disse ella: Ah, meu senhor, viva a tua alma, meu senhor; eu sou aquella mulher que aqui esteve comtigo, para orar ao Senhor.
And she said, I pray you, my lord, as your soul lives, I [am] the woman that stood in your presence with you while praying to the Lord.
27 Por este menino orava eu; e o Senhor me concedeu a minha petição, que eu lhe tinha pedido.
For this child I prayed; and the Lord has given me my request that I asked of him.
28 Pelo que tambem ao Senhor eu o entreguei, por todos os dias que viver: pois ao Senhor foi pedido. E elle adorou ali ao Senhor.
And I lend him to the Lord all his days that he lives, a loan to the Lord: and she said,
